The main focus of hockey for the junior girls playing with their clubs should be on fun, participation and the development of core skills - in line with the IHA Long Term Player development plans.

The purpose of these rules is to ensure a basic structure within the junior girls club section of the Leinster Hockey Association. Playing rules, along with league and cup competition specific rules have been drawn up with the intention of maintaining a fair but competitive environment for all junior players.

In consultation with the IHA and the LHA we are working towards developing participation levels across all age groups - to do this it is necessary to understand the demographics of our players. With that in mind we have ask that you include all junior girls in your registration sheets.

Finally, we would like to wish you all the best for the upcoming season - Let us ensure we encourage participation by all whilst developing a healthy competitive structure within our junior teams.
